25.
Pushed north but before we were out of the woods a fierce little blizzard came up & when we struck the open above Lois Lake we had to face a driving storm for about a mile along the shore to the farm. The wind was fierce & biting cold & our faces were soon crusted with ice & our clothes bedded with snow when we reached the houses.
We were glad to get in by a fire & & were soon enjoying a good hearty meal at the table of an absent millionaire. After an hours rest we crossed the lake & struck an old road & before night were back at the club whence we started 4 days ago, having made about 20 miles today & about 60 miles all told. 
Were somewhat lame & tired but in good shape except for blistered heels.
The combination of new shoes & showshoe straps had skinned both hind heel cords.
